Because he has had to rely on democrats throughout every step of this process to advance these foreign aid bills, including on key procedural votes, which are almost always done along party the lines. so that is really spark a revolt on the right. and it also fueled new calls to oust him from the speakership. as you mentioned, a third republican has now officially signed on to a motion to vacate the speakership. and meanwhile, other hardline conservatives or not yet willing to go that route, but they are making their anger at the speaker known. take a listen it s tough to defend him right now and that s that s that s hard to say, but it s just a reality for five months, we ve done nothing but advanced things with more democrat votes, then republican votes. i don t defend the performance of the speaker. i don t offend the actions that have been taken, including today. i think this is a terrible mistake now, the house has already adjourned for the de the earliest that marjorie tayl
American public saw a really great process over the past week. and a cross-section of americans are going to serve in that jury, including their news sources, varied, new sources, varied walks of life. and if anything, i think it really undermines the idea that he s going to get a better venue somewhere else. this is really just americans have proven to the judge and as well too, what else we can see from their interrogatories that they will try to be impartial& that they will be impartial. i think he s actually gotten a pretty fair shake in terms of the jury that s come out of this process and now we re off to see what will happen with the actual trials or nothing that i think is going to stop it or move it to another location. buckle up. i know where we will all be at 9:30 on monday morning. and you ll probably i ll be back here throughout the day. and when? monday night. thank you all for next the breaking news. we are just learning of what has been described as a huge explosion a
Whether the police reassess the security situation as a result of what just happened, erica, let s see how that all plays out on monday morning ended. appreciate it. thank you. our experts out here with me now, let s do a little deeper into what we saw today, but also what we re going to see on monday. paul martin opening statements are set for monday do you have any concerns about any jurors dropping out over the weekend? well, this is a heavy case. we already had jurors that weighed on them throughout the night. so this is definitely a possibility that a juror to may rethink this situation, especially when they hear about what is took taken place outside died the courtroom but that s not unusual. i think they have six jurors prayerfully. that will be enough during this fall for this process, but time will tell as we watch for that, jennifer rodgers, a former federal prosecutor, i was struck. you re really focused on what we may hear from the defense. come monday morning at

Next stage, looking ahead of course to the strike period, right, prosecution and defense, have four peremptory strikes next, and they have to present causal strikes. some of these very pointed, ana, i should say, answers. and charles, as yasmin was discussing what we are hearing from the courtroom, another note came through, and we re learning that donald trump s attorney or representative in this voir dire process asked the opposite of the steinglass question, saying will you have any problem render ago verdict of not guilty if the government doesn t prove its case. she went through each and every one of them. everybody answered yes at this point. i m curious to learn more about the process that goes into researching these jurors because i know she was also asking about social media posts and sort of asking questions that seemed to imply she knew what was in their
